Taming is the process of controlling one kind of magica
Basic taming training is general magica-mind connections
More advanced levels require a certain affinity - that is a magica school, similar to a "class"
Dealing with magica above your level or out of your school can result in gross (hot for me) deformations, mind loss, possessions, injured dogs and death.

The taming process
There are different ways one can study how to tame magica. They can join an academy for training or train it alone with a master. They can never learn how to tame magica by themselves.
The basic training process is separated in chunks with different objectives like mind connection, mallleability, transformation and self control. It will help scholars connect with magica matter mentally and physically without killing themselves.
After one is able to manipulate magica without losing a limb or two they can then proceed to fitting into one of the magica schools: steam, water, blood and light.
Each school offers a different kind of trained aimed for the school's purpouse in taming magica.
It takes years of intense effort and study to master any of the schools. Some schools and subjects can be percieved as easier or harder depending on the individual but they are all complicated stuff to learn.
Examples of school specific training are: Converting magica into physical force and stamina (steam), Fusionless shapeshifting (water), Creature control (blood) and Hypnosis (light).
Notes: Convent sounds like a nice word for light schools. Maybe different academies have different names?

Picking a school
[Could be changed later]
Depending on where the character is training their magic the process of choosing a magica school can be randomized, predermined by the scholar's profile or it can be a subject of their own choice based on the character's tastes and preferences.
Picking a magica school is a permanent choice, while one can drop their studies later they can not pick a new path.

Magica Taming Dangers
Something about brain injuries
Something about body burns
Something about growing mutations and deformities related to the kind of magica one tried to use (if they are in a different school)
Mind loss (the magica will own the mind instead of mind owning magica)
Possessions (related to mind loss - magica will create a conscience of its own, dominating the student's body)
Death - trying to use magica above ones capacity requires a strenuous effort that leads to mind and body exhaustion. and death.
Regardless if for good or for bad, after years of magica contact one's physical appearence will change to match their mental conditioning needed for magica taming.
If a fusion happens, one will (most likely) no longer be the person they were before they started with magica training.
